dpkg-divert dpkg-deb, and filter the output of dpkg-deb, to modify the tarball
on the fly, so these files are not ever sent to dpkg for processing.
Don't forget to handle long names or long links(gnu variety).
Something more generic, exactly like the above, will eventually be made part
of dpkg. But, until then, doing something like the above is the best way to
solve all the current issues.
Except, of course, for programs that require the files being removed to exist.
